As we’ve talked about at Friday Nights for the last few weeks, this Friday, August 28th, will be our last Friday Nights in Ferndale meeting. It’s been an amazing couple of years and I have thoroughly enjoyed our times together. It has been so good to see the grace of Jesus being worked into our lives and I’m thankful for all the things that I have learned from each of you.

So tomorrow, Friday, August 28th we will be at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale one last time. We will be hanging out, eating dinner, drinking coffee, talking, praying for each and sharing memories. We hope that you can make it out one last time and share the evening with us.

On Friday, August 7th we are back at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale. Dinner starts at 6, coffee around 6:45, and our teaching time will start around 7:15. Childcare will be available during the teaching and prayer time.

For our teaching/discussion time, we will be tuning in to theTrial: 8 Witnesses from 1&2 Peter series from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. This week we’ll be looking at 2 Peter 5:1-5. In this video sermon, we will be looking at what Peter has to say about the return of Jesus to the earth. The second coming of Jesus Christ will bring an end to sin and sinners and establish a new heaven and new earth, although no one knows the day or the hour at which he will return. Pastor Mark Driscoll cautions us to beware of anyone who claims to know the exact time when Jesus will return and encourages us to persevere in our faith, because God is eternal, patient and sovereign.

Of special note, we will be talking about the future direction of Friday Nights in Ferndale before the teaching/discussion time tomorrow night. If you don’t make it, we will be sending out an email and posting details on the blog.

We hope that you can join us Friday, June 26th, at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale for an evening of community, friendship, challenging Biblical teaching and discussion, prayer for one another, and some coffee. Dinner/coffee time begins at 6:00.

For our teaching/discussion time (starting around 7:00 pm), we”ll be returning to the 8 Witnesses from 1 & 2 Peter series from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. This week we’ll be looking at an interesting section of Scripture in 2 Peter 2:1-10. In this video sermon, we see that God looks on false teachers with anger and judgment. These false teaches pick off individuals and crush them with a false understanding of God. God provides his word and godly pastors to pick out the wolves, and protect his sheep. We will talk about those scary words like “heresy” and it should be a good time.

We hope that you can join us Friday, June 19th, at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale for an evening of community, friendship, challenging Biblical teaching and discussion, prayer for one another, and some great coffee. Dinner/coffee time begins at 6:00.

For our teaching/discussion time (starting around 7:00 pm), we”ll be returning to the 2 Peter 1:16-21 from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. This week we’ll be looking at . In this video sermon, we see that there are many cleverly devised myths about who Jesus is and what he did. Jesus is the good teacher, and the Bible tells us all about him. We should trust the Bible, its eyewitness authors, and its divine inspiration. We will ask the questions “What are the unique claims that Jesus makes about himself?” and “Where can the truth be found about who Jesus is?”

We would love to have you join us Friday, June 12th, at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale for an evening of community, friendship, challenging Biblical teaching and discussion, prayer for one another, and some zinging (and I mean that in a good way) coffee. Dinner/coffee time begins at 6:00.

For our teaching/discussion time (starting around 7:00 pm), we will tune in once again to the Trial: 8 Witnesses from 1&2 Peter series from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. This week we’ll be looking at 2 Peter 1:5-15. This section of Scripture builds on Peter’s opening remarks (justification and regeneration, which we discussed last week). In response to God’s grace, Christians work together with God–not for our salvation but rather so that we will experience and enjoy the fullness of the salvation that has already been given to us.

We would love to have you join us Friday, June 5th, at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale for an evening of community, friendship, challenging Biblical teaching and discussion, prayer for one another, and some amazing coffee. Dinner/coffee time begins at 6:00.

For our teaching/discussion time (starting around 7:00 pm), we will tune in once again to the Trial: 8 Witnesses from 1&2 Peter series from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. This week we’ll be looking at 2 Peter 1:1-4 . In this video sermon, entitled “Faith In Your New Birth,” Pastor Mark Driscoll asks the very simple but very important question “How do I know that I am a Christian?” and looks at the topic of what is know as the new birth, or regeneration.

We will probably have childcare available during the sermon and prayer time, but there is a chance that we won’t. Either way, feel free to bring your kids!

We would love to have you join us Friday, May 29th, at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale for an evening of community, friendship, challenging Biblical teaching and discussion, prayer for one another, and some delicious coffee (we hope that last week’s coffee drought will only be a one week hiccup!). Dinner/coffee time begins at 6:00.

For our teaching/discussion time (starting around 7:00 pm), we will tune in once again to the Trial: 8 Witnesses from 1&2 Peter series from Mars Hill Church in Seattle. This week we’ll be looking at 1 Peter 5:1-5. In this video sermon, entitled “Humble Christians,” we learn that humility is central to the life of an obedient Christian. God came to earth as Jesus- in a humble state- showing grace and patience with his people. The Bible calls Christians similarly to imitate their Lord and shed their pride. As John Calvin said, “If you ask me concerning the precepts of the Christian religion, first, second, and third, and always I would answer, ‘Humility.'”
